This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction and in this case it's enough to push the underlying fruit to the background, so be sure give this some air. Otherwise, there is almost painful intensity to the...

The 2020 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru has a fragrant, perfumed and classier bouquet than Hudelot-Baillet's Bonnes-Mares: well-defined with clever use of stems. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned...

Delivers a velvety texture that wraps around flavors of black cherry, blackberry, plum, earth and spice. This is holding back a little now, with excellent balance and a finish that should develop even more length with...

The 2020 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru comprises just a single barrel…but what a barrel! Stunning mineralité and tension on the nose, with slate and sea spray aromas. It's precise and focused, with hints of orange blossom...

This white starts out lushly textured and broad in profile, setting the stage for ripe peach, lemon oil, citronella, stone and earth flavors. Turns more precise, superdry and chalky on the long finish. Best from 2023...

(90-92 points) Notes of sweet spices, wild berries, licorice, loamy soil and smoke introduce the 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grand Epenots (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine, with a deep core...

Elegant, this red is saturated with sweet ripe cherry and berry fruit, with floral, mineral, tobacco and earth accents adding complexity. Beautifully balanced and long, this is approachable now, yet should be even better...

(91-93 points) From Les Plures. Rich full crimson purple, quite plump bouquet if more on the sombre side from this clay rich soil. Lovely on the palate with the right sort of generosity. Crisper at the finish and with...

Dense, with blackberry and plum flavors shaded by iron, earth and spice. Shows broad shoulders and dusty tannins, but plenty of fruit too. Drink now through 2028. 442 cases made, 775 cases imported.

The 2020 Pommard Jarollières 1er Cru has a refined bouquet with redcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cedar, quite classic in style. The palate is well-balanced with good depth. There is more black fruit in the mix here...

(90-92 points) This too is brooding and only grudgingly reveals its aromas of somber red and dark currant, forest floor and anise. The refined, delicious and punchy medium-bodied flavors also possess very good richness...

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village exhibits aromas of sweet cherries, raspberries, loamy soil and toasty oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with powdery tannins and succulent acids, it concludes with a...

(91-93 points) The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Au Chouillet Vieilles Vignes has a perfumed bouquet with potpourri infusing the vivid black cherry and wild strawberry fruit. Good intensity here. The palate is medium-bodied...

(92-94 points) The 2020 Corton Grand Cru has a lively bouquet, well-defined with blackberry and raspberry fruit, touches of chalk dust. The palate is well balanced with a touch of reduction, good density with brambly red...

Fresher aromas of poached plum, red and dark cherry and a hint of spice combine with notably more energetic medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the lingering and much better-balanced finale...

The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru is well-defined on the nose with joyful brambly red fruit laced with crushed stone, certainly one of the more mineral-driven wines from the famed closed wall. There is an almost...

An expressive red, bursting with black cherry, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors. Balanced, if not that complex, this lingers nicely on the juicy finish. Drink now through 2030. 600 cases made, 300 cases imported.

The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru does not fully have the verve and focus of its peers. It is tertiary and more stemmy in style, yet still appealing. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid red fruit, a little chewy and...
